Plane Vapours

歌詞

do you remember one morning last winter when frost sealed all the windows you could see your breath in candyfloss clouds in the sky that were cut through by plane vapours and the blue of the morning was colder than your hand when you took my small hand into your large hand and you pressed the two together and they fitted like a glove the coat that you were wearing was of many different colours but i pulled a thread out of the hem and it was brown just like your eyes you said that i was something that was steady and reliable i held your world together - i was cotton in your coat and you took my heart but i don't think i noticed till i woke up here without it on the morning that you left... morning here is cloudy there's a fire out on the leaf pile and the leaves are getting wetter all the trees are getting blacker in a week or maybe two weeks frost will seal up all the windows and i will lie and think of you standing in your coloured coat and the way you loved the winter more than any man i've ever known and the way your skin looks amber in the turning of the light i saw you in the street and you said nothing much had happened you said nothing much had changed but your eyes had changed their colour maybe they were a little redder or maybe just the light could be i was tired (when i'm tired i don't see right) and you took my small hand into your large hand and you pressed the two together and they fitted like a glove and you said i'll see you (maybe next week next month next year) i'll see you (and then you turned away) and the clouds in the sky were cut through by plane vapours and the blue of the morning was colder than your hand
